A little clip from when I managed to land to Regalia by Pitioss Ruins (it was then followed by me spending two hours tackling the dungeon)

a fun fact about me is that i have a dedicated ff15 save file just so i can play the Pitioss Dungeon fresh over and over again

Your latest ask about Prom and Gladio reminded me of a prompt I wanted to throw at you!

I’d love to see a written take on Noctis going through Pitioss. The player got to experience all the bullshit with a few lines from Noct, but I want to see what he was REALLY feeling while doing that dungeon. You can decide if he wins or says fuck it and gives up 😂😂

@seradyn OH LORD HAVE MERCY 😂😂😂 this was the ONE mission in the game I never completed. I spent 2 days at it and rage quit. NEVER AGAIN. Anyway, Noctis questioning his life choices coming right up!

The black hood shook in Noctis's grasp while he trembled. Even through the commotion of cheers and concern from his friends, Noctis didn't register a sound. A faint buzzing was all he could latch onto, followed by how the sun both felt welcoming and like an enemy at once.

Three days. He had spent Three days in what could only be described as the perfect hell. An endless menagerie of puzzles and traps at every corner and sight. Noctis lost count how many times a giant sphere almost ran him over. How on the second night he cried himself to sleep, wondering what sort of closure his friends would get if they could never find his corpse. How Eos would be doomed to calamity because he decided to screw off and perform a dangerous feat; all for some damned piece of cloth.

Noctis didn't know what he was expecting when he got to the end of the dungeon. There was no hidden knowledge acquired, no interesting artifacts, no treasure; just a rag of a hood and a window leading right back to where he started. The lackluster experience further added to his irritability while he clutched the hood and felt a strong temptation to rip it in half. He almost died for this thing, and the thought pissed Noctis off to no end.

"What did you see down there?" Ignis couldn't help but ask with excitement. His growing fascination with Ancient Solheim showed through his tone.

"What Ignis said!" Prompto chimed.

"By the ass of the Astrals, you look pale! Holy crap...you good, Noct?" Gladio raised a brow.

Noctis went neutral, his gaze poised on the Regalia straight ahead. He marched over to the car without a second thought, ignoring the confused glances his friends gave.

As soon as Noctis opened the door and slammed it behind him, be broke down. Crying hard into the black hood while the boys watched on from afar.

"Whatever he witnessed, it must've overwhelmed him with awe." Ignis murmured.

"I uh, don't think it's quite that..." Prompto chuckled nervously. "Um, should we go and check up on him?"

"No," Gladio shook his head and made a face. "That right there, is a man who has been broken down to where he's having an existential crisis. Let's give him some space."

"Considering the end game for Noct, that's messed up..." Prompto winced.

[astralechoes]

Noctis vc: sure as hell don't miss being stuck in a dungeon with the only thing under it being an abyss, that was fun 🙃

Obviously doesn't help it's Japanese but the Crestholm Channels guide in the Final Fantasy Ultimania is so complicated. Especially compared to a lot of the other dungeons. Truly a hell dungeon XD

[akaiuchiha]

I am going crazy

Why did Square Enix decided to make the Regalia type F with such controls?!

THAT'S WAY TOO HARD TO USE?

I can't land the regalia for god's sake just because I'm trying to reach Pitioss Ruins?!

I always crash, I try to slow down but IT DOESN'T SLOW DOWN AND WHEN I AM NEAR THE LAND, I CRASH AND I DIE

Can someone help me with advice of I don't know, I'm goinf CRAZY

[baladiumsdrive]

I finished Pitioss Ruins... And I guess there goes my motivation to do more stuff in this game..

@hamelin-born @raven-6-10

The Wise One's children are children, and they'll be treated like such. The difference comes when they're old enough to complete the First Hunt. If they do and they do it the Horwalt way, they'll get treated the same way as Kraja. With cautious reverence and a whole lot of respect. If the child earns another Clan Name, they'll be treated like a member of that Clan. Though maybe with a bit more healthy respect because Kraja is still their mother.

So yeah, the general vibe is Respect the Kids.

(Crowe is a special case because she's Nameless, which is percieved as a huge stigma against her, even though it isn't her fault.)

***

Now I have a scene in my head where Regis set up a meeting between himself and Crowe (and Nyx and Libertus. They got dragged along without their say) in the family wing of the Citadel. Which got the Glaahkari lightly freaked out, because why are they meeting the King in the family wing of the Citadel???

Regis is trying very hard not to stare at his sister. Libertus is at once in protective big brother mode. Nyx is bristling like a cat about to pounce in the background. From the way Regis looks at her (and from what they've heard about his enquiries into her beforehand), Libs and Nyx think he might try to crowbar her into a marriage.

None are prepared for Regis's questions about her parentage.

Neither are they prepared for him to bring out the bloodwork. Because by the Spirits, this is actually legit. At least one of the trio will have a mental breakdown at the thought of Mors Lucis Caelum having fucked Kraja Horwalt.

That's just

Wow

He died shortly after? No surprise there. Well, it all depends on what kind of deal he made with the Wise One. And she'll never tell what it was.

At this point Crowe kicks Libertus and Nyx out of the room because they're not conductive to this meeting anymore. Regis is now having flashbacks of Mors doing something similar.

Then Crowe sits back down across from Regis, legs crossed and casually leaning back. She raises an imperious eyebrow and asks Regis what he wants to do about this.

Regis whips out the legitimisation paperwork at once. Because Bahamut's Bladed Wings, this woman is so Lucis Caelum. How come nobody ever noticed?

Crowe thinks about accepting simply to get rid of the Altius part of her name she got slapped with by the Lucian immigration office.

How many people know who is Crowe's mother? If Regis asked discreetly about any daughter Kraja might have had, would people know who he was talking about or would they be confused because since when the Witch of Galahd has kids?

Everyone in the Altius Clan but the children know. Nyx and Libertus know, obviously. As does Murus and some of Libertus's closer relatives.

(Murus doesn't like Crowe because she's Nameless, but he would never dare to actively do something against her for fear of retribution from the Wise One.)

Basically everyone in the Glaive knows and some other people who figured it out on their own. There's also quite the number who suspect but don't ask because they Don't Need to Know, Thanks.

So it's kind of an open secret no one talks about.

Everyone but maybe Crowe herself, Nyx, Libertus and (only when really preassured) Aerugo Altius, would admit to it, when asked directly.

So yeah, if Regis were to make decrete enquiries through a third party, he would hit a road block real fucking fast.

Wait this means I can do pitioss now. As soon as I recover from emotional devastation there is nothing holding me back

[kuma-dea112]

sort of a part 2 to my other post where i'm actually in the dungeon this time

btw I was like 2 hours into it and the clipping software I used was glitching and kept taking a clip every time I raised my voice slightly (even though I had the setting turned off)

Pitioss Ruins I'll see you in hell
